Greetings from Gotham City!

We just surpassed two-thirds of the way to our goal right out of the gate. If you backed our first campaign three years ago, welcome back(ers)! You have been a pivotal part to our brand's success. To all our new and returning customers, welcome to our latest Kickstarter endeavor! We post these updates throughout the duration of the campaign for you to follow along. 

First things first — if you are in the NYC metro area next weekend... 

SAVE THE DATE!

 Sunday, January 22nd (2pm to 5pm) 

Celebrate Chinese New Year / National Hot Sauce Day in style as we bring the taste of Chinatown to the masses in The Year of the Rabbit! We are hosting a launch party for our fiery new recipe that honors the diverse flavors of Chinatown.

We will have hot sauce tastings paired with appetizers from the original Vanessa’s Dumpling House, a cash bar featuring a specialty cocktail from Victoria! Bar, and a few surprises... including the reveal of the ZING DYNASTY bootleg action-figure — custom designed and signed by Chinatown pop artist and reality tv star, The Sucklord.

Project Update #1

Our new recipe and process letter has been submitted for FDA approval. We have the first draft of our Nutrition Facts panel, but there may be some minor revisions based on the yield.

Our label design has been submitted to the printer for proofing. It will feature the same reflective properties showcased on our current products. That means the yellow will appear more ‘old gold’ than what you see in the photos here. I will post some pics of the label once we receive the proof.

Goal Update: 73%

Our goal was set at $7,500 to cover expenses to get us half a kettle of sauce — that's about 80 cases (960 5oz. bottles). 

Since we are so close to reaching our goal, with an entire month left in the campaign, it makes sense for us to stretch the goal to have a full kettle of sauce made... about 180 cases (2,160 bottles). This will also help decrease the cost per unit when it goes live on our website. We will likely increase the goal somewhere between $10K to 12K. 

Please continue to share our campaign to help us reach our goal towards a full kettle of product!
